What spiders are venomous in Florida?

Question

My daughter & I were outside tonight and the biggest spider I've ever seen was on the porch with us. It was huge. I have a 20 month old son & I need to know what types of spiders are here so I can be on the look out.

Answer 1

All spiders are venomous. That's how they make their living. See   http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/in011

Answer 2

Don't worry about the big spider. It is a specie of tarantula. Won't bother you.

The dangerous spiders are: Black widow and Brown recluse, any spider whose bite you are allergic to. Since you are in a seaport state, any spider that has webbing around its burrow. (Possible Tunnel web spider - deadly).

Answer 4

all of them.  

Answer 5

Every last one of them. By nature, spiders are venomous. The only ones that could potentially cause a major problem, however, are black widows and brown recluses... neither of them are huge.
